Sun Mote Copse But if I can make it to the street

Niamh declined the offer, and Phox continued to give her a dopey smile, unaware that Nellie was giving both of them a look of ~recognition~. As much as Phox always touted to be a "woke" adult who treated kids like they were adults, he'd somehow thought he and Niamh could keep things under wraps (or at least let everybody know on their own terms). Instead, he completely failed to pick up on the fact that Nellie was more observant than she was letting on. Can't win 'em all!

When Niamh suggested a hunt, Phox's tail began to beat steadily behind him, making thump-thump sounds on the ground. He hadn't been on a proper large game hunt in quite some time, and it would do them good to all get together. I spotted some deer droppings up north, he explained, I'm guessing that means the herds are back. If he'd known that Niamh meant to include Fennec, he probably would have given her a bewildered look. No offense, sweet daughter, but she wasn't going to be much help without sight.
